Works great, like the washer!
I bought this dryer because my 23-year old one stopped tumbling. I bought the washer as well and that review will be posted separately. I've had the dryer for about 2 months now and it works very well. I still use the instruction booklet a bit so that I can get used to how the machine operates. I like that the lint filter is in front and easy to clean. And I like having so many options to address the different fabrics I need to dry. My clothes come out dry and in good condition.

    Great dryer!
    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We've had this dryer for about a month. After getting acquainted with the control panel and user guide (a bit of a learning curve, considering that our old dryer was basically on or off, hi/low, and a lint screen) we love it! Love the steam feature - can't believe I lived without it all these years!

      Maytag Bravos Xl he dryer with reduce static option
      I really love this dryer. It has a large capacity and i like the sanitize option. It could be a little quieter though.

        great features
        It's quiet and great features. I have never been a dryer that helps reduce wrinkles and static. This feature is great. It has already come in handy for us.

              Amazing
              I did a lot of research as we were replacing all our appliances. Selected this model and from the time we plugged it in until now it has exceeded our expectations. Very quiet...

                Excellent concept, great design, some real issues
                Bought mine in April of 2015. Overall this was a "must-have" unit for my wife and I. The capacity, design and features were unmatched for us. And in dryer performance this one really shines - it definitely has prevented shrinking our clothes (like a prior unit did habitually)However... Some real Quality issues:1) The bottom tray makes an awful noise while the drier is running unless I press on it. It's not a foot leveling issue as it's been adjusted every which way. I will have to call service on this one.2) The lint on the lint screen gets scraped off as you pull the screen out to clean it! I've never owned a drier that was this bad about this. I don't let the lint accumulate on it either, I always take it out after every load. This issue is very concerning because there's a high likelihood that lint then falls down the exhaust chute making it likely that it will clog the flue. I will likely bring this up in a service call as well.

                  Very efficient
                  I like the speed of the drying time. The wrinkle free feature is great.

                    Buyer Beware
                    Electronic board goes out very easy on this model. We have had to replace the electronic board four times within four years. You have to go VERY slow when switching selections or it goes out. Each time a technician needs to come out to fix the board it takes two trips; one to see what happened and order the part, and the second trip to install.

                      Love this Bravos pair
                      Bought the Bravos washer and dryer when we moved to our new house. They are easy to operate, work very well, have plenty of options to meet our needs, and have a large capacity. Only had a slight problem with the dryer making a rattling noise, but the rollers were replaced and a few screws tightened and it seems to be fine now. Wish we would have upgraded sooner!

                            What a super dryer!
                            My old 15 year old Maytag dryer simple dried the clothes. It had not many choices for setting and linens, cotton came out quite wrinkled. Not so with the new one! It has a steam option if they get a little too dry for ironing or if you want to refresh an article of clothing. What a great option! You set the dryer for the type of clothes you put in it and it does the rest perfectly! I do love this new updated dryer from Maytag!

                              Quiet, fast and effective. We bought this machine a month ago, so waiting to see on the energy savings.

                                  I've had Maytag's before and they are so reliable and that's why I purchased the same brand

                                      Happy with the dryer
                                      Have had the dryer for 2 weeks, and am very happy with it. Even without the steam option, the clothes come out without wrinkles. It dries very quickly and accomodates very large loads. The steam option is fabulous -

                                        A Great decision!
                                        After looking seriously at another brand I chose the reliable Maytag brand and we are very happy we did. My dryer has the steam feature which is great for those of us that do not like to iron!

                                          I like my new Washer & Dryer appliances very much
                                          My new Maytag washer & dryer replaced my Maytag Neptune washer & Dryer and the new ones clean better than the old ones thank you very much!

                                            So excited to move away from GE appliances!! My Mom owned her Maytag for 37 years before she had to replace it. I'm hoping for the same.

                                              What an upgrade!!
                                              We had and ARCHAIC washer/dryer duo, so were very excited to check out the HE options on the Bravos dryer. It took a few cycles to figure what worked best, but we really love the steam cycles! It saves a ton of time too. Could not be happier with my purchase!

                                                Great NEW Technology
                                                Our old Maytags finally gave up after so many years! We decided to stay with Maytag Quality. Were we surprised - All new features and new efficient technology. We would not trade our new dryer for anything. My only suggestion to any buyer - read the operating manual. Once you learn about all of the technology and features, you will fall in love with Maytag all over again. We are impressed with the Maytag Quality.

                                                  I just moved in last month and up graded from Whirlpool to Maytag. After trying both Maytag was by far the better choice. Besides, happy wife, happy life!!!!!!!!

                                                    Have not had the product very long, but it does the job. I like how it tells me how long it takes to dry specific articles; i.e., towels, sheets, clothing, etc.

                                                          Frequent Clean Lint Screen Alarm
                                                          Since buying this dryer, every few loads I'll have an issue where the "check lint screen" light and alarm come on a few minutes into drying time and when I check the screen, there's little to nothing on it. Restart the cycle (b/c it won't let you resume), and it happens again after a few minutes. One load did this 6 times before I could get the clothes adequately dried. Other than that, I love the many options for cycles...if it would just keep running.

                                                            Lover my Dryer
                                                            love this dryer because it not only dry's quickly but having the static feature is great and it truly works. The drum is bigger than my previous dryer so also clothes come out wrinkle free. I have found if I have something that needs to be ironed using the steam option to freshen takes the wrinkles out. Love all the options.
